Phase 1: Abstract and Outline Phase 1: Assignment: Research Paper Abstract and Outline: Throughout this course, you will work on a research paper on a course-related topic of your choice and approved by your instructor. This research paper is an opportunity for you to personalize the concepts you are learning in this course. Ensure to pick a topic that you can find substantial research papers and articles to support your research paper. It should be a 150-300 words summary that would be appropriate to give your instructor so that they would know the essence of your project without reading the paper in its entirety. Please identify the external sources you will use for further research. Outline Overview: Provide a brief outline of your project (approximately 1–2 paragraphs, including your intended thesis statement) along with an outline of the proposed project (introduction, key points, and conclusion, etc.) Add main topic headings with appropriate subheadings (2–4 subheadings are suggested). The outline might be modified as needed for your topic. Ensure your choices of headings and subheadings are appropriate, given the literature that is available on your chosen topic. Your outline will likely be modified by the discovery of additional research on your topic. Include at least one reference appropriate for each main section of your paper. References must be primarily concerned with that specific topic and not simply report on the topic as part of its introduction or discussion. Include a Reference page following the APA format (6th Edition). Use the APA writing guidelines for all submissions related to this assignment. Detail any issues or challenges you foresee related to the final project along with any assistance that your instructor can provide in the coming weeks. Your outline should demonstrate a clear understanding of the topic to be studied, the methodologies involved, the challenges that need to be resolved, and the appropriate resolution strategy.
